I liked the Notebook, both the book and the movie.
Thanks for the contest.
The Martian, I loved both the book and the movie!
I thought The Book Thief was pretty awesome.

The Book Thief.
Gone With the Wind is my number one movie adaptation.
Thank you for the opportunity
I love The Polar Express book and movie
Honestly im not really a fan of books to movies but with that being said I loved the maze runner more in movie form then book form
lord of the rings
Hands down it is “Pride and Prejudice”.
My favorites Include It, The Notebook, and Harry Potter.
It’s definitely the Harry Potter series. We read this series as a family and saw the movies together. This week, my oldest daughter is coming to visit us so we can mourn the first year without Heather, as she took her life on 10/26/15. She loved this and made sure we all kept reading and saw the movies together as a family. For her, we will watch it together. I know she would like that.

My favorite book turned movie is Ghost World 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite book turned into a movie is PS, I Love You.
I read constantly, so I have a lot of favorite books turned movies, but my first ever favorite was Where The Red Fern Grows. I read that book over and over growing up, and then found the movie in the library. Now, it’s one of my kids’ favorite movies. I still cry every time I read the book or watch the movie, but it’s definitely worth it <3

The one I can think of lately is
Nicholas Sparks’ The Longest Ride
Such a good book!
The book & movie was genuinely heartfelt and told about the struggles of two different relationships in two different eras!
I cried & Alan Alda was remarkable!!!
I recommend both!!

The Shining
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. The short novel isn’t half as good as the movie.
